For-each node

For-each node card

The For-each node maps a language model over an array of items: every item becomes one model call (the item as the prompt, your instructions as the system prompt), and the results are collected back into an array of { item, output } entries — in the same order as the input.

Use it to apply the same analysis, classification or transformation to a list — for example, score every row of a generated table, translate every line of a report, or summarize each search result — without writing a loop by hand.

Handles

HandlePurpose
ItemsThe array to iterate over (a table, list or JSON array)
ResultsThe collected [{ item, output }] array

Configuration

  • Model — the language model that runs once per item.
  • Instructions — the system prompt, applied to every item (supports {…} templates). Describe what to do with each item and what to return.
  • Items path — a dot-path into the run context pointing at the array to iterate over (e.g. outputs.<node-id>.rows). Leave empty to use the incoming payload when it is an array.

Where the items come from

The array is resolved in this order:

  1. If an Items path is set, read that path from the run context.
  2. Otherwise use the incoming payload, when it is an array.

Non-string items are serialized to JSON before being passed as the prompt, so a table row or a nested object becomes a readable text prompt automatically. If no items resolve, the run fails fast with a clear message.

Example — score every lead

A Table Generation node produces { sheets: [...] }. A For-each node reads the rows and scores each one:

items:   payload.rows            (or outputs.<table-node>.sheets[0].rows)
model:   openai/gpt-4.1-mini
instructions: "Rate each lead's quality from 1 (cold) to 5 (hot).
              Reply with just the number."

The Results handle emits:

[
  { "item": "{"name":"ACME"}", "output": "5" },
  { "item": "{"name":"Globex"}", "output": "3" }
]

Wire that into a Table Generation node or an Agent to turn the raw scores into a finished report.

Notes

  • One durable step — the items run in order, not in parallel, so re-runs are deterministic and each call is billed separately.
  • If one item’s call fails, the batch stops and reports that error.
  • The card shows the model and the items source at a glance.
